Fixing/New rear light clusters?
Administrivia: Moved to in depth technical from parts for sale -- dragon
Hiya,
Yesterday, I noticed there was a chunk of plastic (about 3cm by half cm) missing from the top edge (not the main face) of one of my rear light clusters.
For now, I have put some insulating tape over it to stop the water getting in, but it seems I have two choices.
1) Try and seal the hole. Any suggestions what to use? Some Silcon sealant?
2) Buy a new cluster. Now if I get one new one it will look a bit odd next to an old one, so I would probably need both. How much are these, anyone know?
Cheers

Oooh - these sounds interesting. Can you give us any kind of insight as to what they will look like? - Are they going to be similar to the original ones, or have you gone for the Lexus style?
